You have to get his affairs in order, there's the funeral to plan. We can delay. I understand."He chewed his food, silently."I'm here for you, Mark," ...I told him. "I know its been difficult for you. I ... I get that your sister is helping you, but I can help you to."He snorted with laughter and I blinked."What?" I asked as ice flowed through my veins.

She had kick-ass tattoos, along one shoulder and on her.
